hello my name is mr. penguin hello my name is mr. polar bear I don't believe
we have met before? do I know you? no you don't because we
live in completely different places oh I see I live in the Antarctic and I live
in the Arctic no you're wrong you live in the Antarctic oh yes of course I see
what happened there I got it wrong because I live in the Arctic and I live
in the Antarctic yes finally you get it right I don't know you don't even
realise where you live you're crazy no you're crazy no you're crazy
Hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay
I hope so are you happy I really really hope so here we go again of course
already you may have noticed that things are still slightly different and there
is a reason for that we have some ongoing technical issues that we are
sorting out to do with the computer but hopefully next week we will have some
good news about what is happening with the studio and also the computer that
controls everything so hopefully next Wednesday we should have some very good
news there is an interesting word there is a word in the English language that I
really love and that word is the word is adversity adversity
the word adversity means difficulty problems that come along that make
things difficult to do and I love this word now one of the hardest things in
life to get used to is adversity things going wrong the older you get the more
you realize that adversity is never very far away there is always a problem or a
difficulty or something that must be sorted out or rearranged just around the
corner it's true so at the moment I have quite a lot of adversity to deal with
I've had some technical issues but hopefully next week we will have some
good news so here we go then oh my goodness it's Sunday before I
continue did you see the livestream last Thursday I was actually on YouTube live
last Thursday did you see it I was on very late at night I I did a
very special livestream between 10 o'clock at night and midnight so I
stayed on for over two hours live just in case you missed it it is available on
my youtube channel I hope you've had a good week how is your week being mine
hasn't been too bad very busy lots of things going on including trying to get
my studio working normally so first of all can I just say before we go any
further if there are any problems today with the technical side if anything
suddenly stops working I hope you will bear with me but hopefully next week
everything will be back to normal whatever normal is so we have the live
chat of course hello to the live chat let's have a look shall we
oh hello - Julie hello Julie you are first today on the live chat
hello to you also alle at 1 hello to you also Pedro hello Pedro nice to see you
today I think I might have a cold coming so
today I might be sniffing a little bit I think I might have a slight cold coming
and the reason is because everyone at the moment here in the UK is sick they
are unwell there are lots of colds lots of fevers and worst of all lots of flu
going around at the moment influenza is a very serious illness
especially if you are very young or very old so many people at the moment in the
UK are suffering some type of fever maybe a slight cold or a slight fever or
maybe something very serious such as influenza and there are many different
types of flu at the moment we have an outbreak of a particular type of flu
which apparently originated in Australia it's true I'm not joking so the live
chat is up and running let's have a look because of course you are the most
important part of everything we do here coming up later on we're talking about a
lot of things exciting things happening next week of course because the Winter
Olympic Games begin next week in South Korea I nearly said North Korea but of
course it's in South Korea a place called
prong Chang pyeongchang Gooden to give it its full name so the Winter Olympics
begin I believe it's next Friday and they run
for around about two weeks something also to mention about this month is I
will be here next Sunday but I won't be here the Sunday after and the reason for
that is because I have a lot of things going on that week some very personal
things happening also I will be making some changes here in the studio so I
won't be here the week after next so next Sunday I'm here but the week after
I will not be here just to let you know so on the 18th of February I will not be
here because I'm going to take the studio to
pieces hopefully the computer problem will be solved as well and then the
following week which is the 25th of February I will be back and of course so
will mr. Steve a lot of people have asked about mr. Steve I've had some
messages concerning whether or not mr. Steve drinks and drives can I just clear
something up now mr. Steve does not drink alcohol and then go in the car so
he doesn't he doesn't drink and drive I don't know why the other night I was
saying some very outrageous things to mr. Steve I was accusing Steve of being
drunk and driving can I just say now that mr. Steve never does that ever ever
I'm glad we've cleared that up so what time is it it is now coming up to
quarter past two of course I just mentioned mr. Steve mr. Steve will be
here later on in a roundabout around about 15 minutes mr. Steve will be
right here back to the live chat oh hello - Hannon hello Hannon how are you
today are you ok I really hope so
hello everyone greetings from Buenos Aires and that of course is Belarusian
one of my very loyal viewers also a big hello to AG nan Zi also - Jill zero -
fat a fat a catch em says hello mr. Duncan Wow so many people already on the
live chat oh we have France watching at the moment a big Bonjour - France hello
to you Patricia is watching in France where are you mr. Duncan
and where is Steve well I'm here at the moment but mr. Steve will be arriving
soon he will be with me and also you in
around about 15 minutes so don't worry lots of people seem to really like mr.
Steve now hello mr. Duncan says Rossa hello rose sir thank you very much for
joining me again when Joe say Rodriguez says what ah yes which I believe is
hello hello from Quang Pham also Silvana wow so many people here already can we
make friendships in facebook says Allah at one of course you can and that is the
most amazing part of being on the Internet is that you can contact many
people you can create groups you can talk about your interests and of course
for me the most important thing of all is you can share your views and your
opinions and one of the things I love about nowadays is that we can all share
our opinions so some people believe this and some people believe
that and the beautiful thing nowadays is we can share our opinions we don't
always agree but what I always say is it is a good thing
that we are talking to each other and that is the most important thing of all
of course I just mentioned the Olympic Games the Winter Olympics are starting
next week next Friday and of course North Korea and South
Korea will be together in the games which I think is a pretty good thing a
very positive thing maybe some people don't agree with it whilst others do and
there we go we're back to opinions so some people think one thing and some
people think the opposite hello Duncan how are you today says canola
hello canola thank you very much for joining me yes I've had a very busy week
I'm okay but I think I might have a slight cold a slight cold coming so I I
hope that everything will be okay Wilson Alonso mr. Duncan we love you because
you are a real person you are not here to make money
well that's true many years ago I I started making videos on YouTube and I
did it all and I got nothing for it I did it for a very long time and I didn't
get anything for it but fortunately YouTube started giving a
little bit of money to the people who made videos but even now it is it isn't
very much trust me so not everyone on YouTube is a
multimillionaire it's true and I'm I'm one of those
people who isn't a multimillionaire because of YouTube it's true so thank
you very much Wilson Alonso you don't give up now I never give up as I
mentioned earlier doing this is not easy it's very very
difficult you have lots of technical problems to sort out of course you also
get a lot of hate as well so the moment you come onto the Internet the moment
you make yourself noticed to other people you will sometimes get hate from
other people as well so there are many things that you have to get used to
there are many things you have to become accustomed to to survive in the public
eye and for those who aren't aware I've been doing this now for over 11 years so
I've been here on YouTube making these videos for over 11 years this year is my
12th year on YouTube all the best mr. Duncan we know oh how are you doing are
you okay yes I'm okay as sonal a sonal man thank you very much van long is here
glad to see your livestream well I'm very glad to be here more than you will
ever know I am so happy to be here today you were really late on Thursday yes
it's true and all of my neighbours had gone to bed so everyone living around me
on Thursday evening they had already gone to bed and I was still up doing my
livestream but I hope you enjoyed it it's something that I might do more
often so I will do these things if you want me to do them I don't mind it is a
pleasure mr. Duncan have you fixed your computer I hope I will hope I will keep
my fingers crossed that's what I'm doing at the moment and for those who are
religious could you please say a prayer for my new computer because I'm hoping
next Wednesday that I will have some good news
news concerning the computer so next Wednesday I will give you an update but
for the time being I am keeping my my fingers crossed here we are again my
very best English teacher Oh Thank You Jer Jer Marc hey thank you

Madrid and that comes from Mercedes Ferran des so apparently at the moment
it is snowing in Madrid wow you are so lucky talking of the weather I haven't
mentioned the weather today now normally the weather is the first
thing I mentioned but today it isn't but hopefully because it's such a lovely
day outside it's very cold but the weather is beautiful we have had some
lovely sunshine this morning so maybe in the second hour I will try to arrange an
outside stream now as I mentioned earlier I have some technical problems
at the moment with my computer and other things so I will try to go outside and
hopefully we will be able to spend a few moments outside live in the beautiful
weather it was very sunny earlier having said that is also very cold it's very
cold
my cat I don't know what that means Luciano is here thank you very much
Luciano mr. Steve is a big fan of you because he likes opera and all sorts of
music talking of which mr. Steve will be here a little bit later with some words
some terms some ways of expressing music and the way in which music is made and
performed Brazil is here saying hello to our very best English teacher Jer Markie
or Markie thank you very much for joining me today
Wow so many people are here I'm overwhelmed do you like my little bell
can you see here I have a little bell and this is to let mr. Steve know where
I am so he knows where I am all the time just like a cat so as I'm walking around
the house you can hear and that means that I'm nearby just like a pet just
like a pet isn't that lovely hi mr. Duncan says Juan yes mr. Steve
did have some beer the other night he did have a drink of beer but he only had
a little bit just a very small drink so he wasn't drunk the other night I can't
I can't make that clear enough I have to keep saying that Mika odhh is here
watching in Japan hello to Japan and hello - Mika many people at the moment
are suffering from flu in Japan as well fortunately I am well I'm very glad to
hear it please take care mr. Duncan don't become
sick I will try to avoid it but at the moment there are so
many people around who are unwell they have colds and fever and as I
mentioned earlier quite a few people are suffering from flu at the moment and of
course we mustn't forget that flu can be a very deadly illness it can and it does
kill thousands and thousands of people every year
Jamelia is here o Jamelia thanks for joining me I love your shirt yes I
thought today I thought I would wear a different shirt so normally I have my
smiley face shirt but today I thought I would dress differently and wear my one
of my purple shirts as I mentioned the other night I do like purple if I'm in a
particular mood I like to wear purple and today that's what I'm doing
are you coming down with something says temeka if you come down with something
it means you have become ill you have caught an illness maybe a virus so you
have come down with something it's a great expression actually so if
you come down with something it means you have become ill due to an illness or
a virus hi mr. Duncan how are you doing analytic brain is here analytic brain
analytic brain is now on the live chat that's your song I hope you enjoyed it
hi mr. Duncan how are you doing hope your new system is working well we don't
know yet we don't know we will find out next week what happens I'm keeping my
fingers crossed don't forget for those who like to pray
could you please pray for my new computer and I hope it arrives soon
germar cook maki says please come to visitors in brazil it would be a
pleasure well the other night mr. Steve was talking all about Brazil because he
loves coffee and also I think he really does want to go to Brazil one day I
think he's really fairly interested so if anyone would like to have mr. Steve
living with them for a few days in Brazil trust me you don't want to do
that definitely so mr. Steve is on the way we are coming
up to half-past two and it's Sunday afternoon and as you can see we are as
live as live can't be mr. Steve today we'll be talking about terms words
connected to music and performing music a big hello from Sicily hello Sicily
hello to Italy and Maria is here Maria LaRosa
oh thank you very much for that I am okay but I haven't fixed my computer yet
and that's the reason why everything looks very different still so we still
have a few days to wait before everything is sorted out but as I said I
hope there will be some good news next week next week
are you happy I hope so Giorgio is here are you happy Giorgio I hope so
well sir great I am from Pakistan hello to Pakistan and also hello to a Tula a
to Lacan I hope I pronounced your name right
English helps us to communicate and understand each other it's true as I
said earlier one of the things I love about nowadays one of the things I love
about living in the 21st century is the fact that it is very easy to
communicate with other people and I think really we we kind of take it for
granted that we can do it we don't even think
it now but it's amazing that we can live in this age where everything is so easy
to do and I think communication is always a very important thing just like
what is happening at the moment in Korea with North Korea and South Korea next
week joining together for the Winter Olympic Games so maybe it is the start
of something new who knows I always say that it is good to talk and communicate
hello mr. Duncan David sauce and also a tous car hello there I'm okay not too
bad even though I think I might have a slight cold coming so much blue in this
video and glowing lights and even you are glowing thank you very much I think
that's a good thing isn't it if we say that someone is glowing it
means that they they look very healthy so I hope I am glowing today could I
have your Facebook mr. Duncan yes you can find all of my details on my youtube
channel my youtube channel so my Facebook page and all the other details
are there Oh mr. Duncan you've got fans you've got lots of fans and also love
Thank You Swan I had a message just from Coventry I've lost it now oh by Dilla Oh
by Dulla Malad is watching in Coventry which is in the UK yes in the UK so not
very far away from where I am at the moment
say hello to Indonesia says Beema Beema official hello to everyone watching in
Indonesia it must be very very late now though is it very late or very early
I think it must be very late now I followed you and you are a very big
teacher of English thank you David that's very kind of you mr. Steve he's
on his way in fact as I look into the distance coming out of the mist across
the moor it's a little bit like weathering heights really here comes mr.
Steve across the the misty Moor come on mr. Steve Oh stand over here you can
stand there thank you hello everyone its mr. mr. Steve is here hello are you
forgot your water by the way I forgot my water left it on the kitchen table and
he might need that later when his throat gets a bit dry so I thought I'd bring it
in for him well you know what I think Steve I think I might have a cold coming
a cold I've been sniffing all morning I think I
might have a cold coming if you told me that I wouldn't have come in to down
don't particularly want to stand by you I've got a performance in two weeks I
don't want to get a throat infection no I don't I don't think it's serious I
think I think it's just a little sniff I I think I'm okay by this water by the
way is freezing cold ah but I heated it up in the microwave
oh so it's a bit warmer icees yeah so you've heated this water up just for me
yes because I thought that one what is a bit cold by the way they're the top
matches your what where's your normal t-shirt mr. Duncan you're very behind
the time Steve I've already mentioned today I'm wearing purple I'm in a very
purple mood that was a purple top on that on that water so the bottle top
actually matches my shirts look at that Wow should I put it over there for you
or do you want to take a swig no I'm going to put it on the floor so say
hello Steve hello Steve oh yeah hello hello
hello and it's me again yes I was here on Wednesday for an impromptu entry into
mr. Duncan's live Englishness and I came back Thursday night Thursday night and
he's I don't know what he's doing down there
he don't he told me he said whatever you do don't move around when you come onto
camera just stay in one position and he's already broken the rule that he
made hello being attacked by a polar bear oh there must be some penguins
nearby mr. Steve where do polar bears live they live in Africa
polar bears they live probably on the other is the south or the North Pole one
of the two and where do penguins live in a different place apart from in your
studio where they're both living very happily together remember penguins live
in the Antarctic and polar bears live in the Arctic North Pole yes they live in
the northern hemisphere let's hope we're right Howie
we're definitely right they they never live together a lot of people think that
polar bears and penguins live together I'm not going to say who thinks that I'm
not telling you who them now I was joking at the time when we made that
reference yes ago were joking you have sought to
bring this up yet again in order to try and ridicule me in front of all your
listeners you little liar viewers do you like mr. steve has given me a little
bell to wear so he knows where I am so well I'm walking around the house they
leave me I always know where you are mr. Duncan because I can hear you his voice
he never shuts up what are we going today then mr. Duncan well that's a very
good question I've prepared some things I have is well coming up today mr. Steve
is going to talk about musical terms because on Thursday night
when we did our very live and late live stream live in late you know I think we
might do something in the week what do you think do you think it's a good idea
what what do you think should we do an extra live stream in the week so we're
going to see today what what people say we're going to get a kind of vote it
won't be very accurate but we're going to get a sense of what you think so
would you like to see mr. Steve and myself war often so maybe during the
week so last thirsty we did a special live stream very late of one off it was
but it might not be a one off we might actually do it on a regular basis I
think we asked last week and quite a few people said yes will you you just use a
very interesting word by the way impromptu yes that means a unexpected
unrehearsed a sudden something that suddenly happens that wasn't expected
impromptu that's an interesting word so that very that correctly yes very good
so impromptu is something that you do kind of I suppose without rehearsal or
without any preparation you do it on the spur of the moment
another good phrase hello mr. Duncan what's happened have you still not fixed
your computer everyone is mentioning the computer the computer isn't fixed yet
that's why we're standing here in this very awkward way it's very very awkward
I feel so awkward it's working but it's got limited capabilities yes like it
keeps getting very hot and switching off but as I said on Thursday night mr.
Duncan has spent most of the week researching what new special occasion of
computer decays and I've come back knees up piles of paper printed out so shall I
get this one should I get that one do I need a bigger graphics card what size
motherboards should I get that processor all this
process at what I certainly don't know because I'm not an expert in technology
or computers that there is one thing that I'm getting there though aren't you
I have learnt I have learnt a lot about computers over the last few days there
so during the past few days I have learnt a lot about computers and and
what you actually need to do certain things and sadly the computer I have at
the moment is not working very well at all in fact I'm surprised we are still
on so if we suddenly disappear that's because my computer is melting away well
you've only got one camera on so I think it'll be all right that's if you work
mr. Duncan was going to even he entertained the idea of building his own
computer from scratch yes I was going to do it just can I can I just show you
something just just gonna hold that for me I will put that there
and what can see myself it's very unnerving yes mr. Duncan researched
because a lot of people who do gaming on computers and online need these very
high specification computers and because they're quite expensive a lot of them
build their own computers themselves so mr. Duncan thought what a good idea are
looking to that but I think when we looked at it the problem is if you build
your own computer and you need it for something as important as mr. Duncan's
doing live streaming English if it doesn't work who is he going to go to to
get it fixed so probably better to get a ready built one I think isn't that what
you've decided mr. Duncan who you gonna call computer repairman well
unfortunately my computer is beyond repair so I've decided to replace it but
I was going to build my own I just said that okay can you see this this looks
like some sort of adult toy but it isn't a torture device maybe what you're
referring to well maybe you did reveal that a few weeks ago your mystery
so just to show how prepared I was to build my own computer I actually bought
this and this goes on your wrist so you put this on your wrist and then you you
connect this you don't connect this to the electricity you connect it to it
would do it well he would you connect it to something called an earth an earth so
that safely discharges the electricity away and when you are repairing or
working on a computer when you are inside the computer touching it with
your fingers you must do something called grounding you ground yourself so
this has to be connected to something that sends all the electrical charges to
the ground static electricity you don't need that now because you're I'm not
building your own no but what I thought it was interesting to explain this
because it's it's quite it's quite interesting so I have this now but I
don't actually need it but who knows one day I might have to ground myself by the
way the word ground can also be used by parents towards their teenage children
when they've been naughty or they've done something wrong you might ground
them you stop them from going out you prevent them from leaving the house
because they've been very naughty it is often used in the United States so if
you ground someone it means that you stop them from going out you stop them
from doing what they want and in this sense to ground yourself or to ground
something is to safely discharge static electricity I love this this is great I
feel like I've been arrested you've been a very naughty boy mr. Duncan you can't
go out you're grounded I I I really feel as if I want to put this somewhere I
really want to put it somewhere my nose is running I'm I know I've got him
virus already you see nose is running how do you know that I didn't catch it
take that off mr. dink I might have caught that from you I have not had any
kind of cold or infection because I'm super healthy no you know I had a flu
jab I've had echinacea I've had zinc I've had everything known to man for
preventing the common cold but he still can't have a normal pot there mr. Duncan
well are you gonna leave that on for the rest of this lesson I like this this
this could be the new fashion accessory for 2018 I can wrap it around your neck
we can all walk around and ground ourselves so I've decided not to build
my own computer for two reasons one I really probably wouldn't know what I was
doing and I would probably become very nervous so I would be very worried about
making a mistake doing something wrong or maybe breaking
something whilst trying to build the computer so I've decided to to get a new
computer but someone else is going to do the building for me it's a bit like
going outside you go if you've got plenty of time and no particular
pressure then you could probably build your own but you might need a week it's
a bit like it's it's a bit like deciding that you're going to replace a tile on
the roof of your house you're not quite sure what you're doing it could be
dangerous and it could all go horribly wrong so I don't want that attached to
me mr. Duncan ticularly I'm trying to ground myself through
Steve yes I don't want your static electricity have you ever been struck by
lightning I have not are you sure in struck by lightning mr. Duncan yeah
there's anyone out there have you ever been struck by lightning what's it like
I've always wondered what it slice it like what's it like to be struck by like
I don't think it's Pleasant I want to know I'm suddenly very curious to find
out what it feels like when lightning strikes you is it Pleasant do you go all
all fuzzy now I should think you - I think it's very very unpleasant mr.
Duncan maybe it maybe it's the opposite maybe it's really nice and I don't think
it is lovely I've never seen anybody interviewed on television that's been
struck by lightning it says all that was a pleasant experience I'd like to do
that again next time there's a stall I'll go and stand under that big tree on
the hill and hope I'm struck again I will stand oh no you don't stand under
the tree stand away from the tree don't is how you get a stroke no we know
that's true you shouldn't stand by a tree either
I'll make your mind up you should apparently if you're caught in a storm
in an exposed area you're supposed to lie flat on the ground okay
a sink hello a sink thank you for asking me to sing no right okay on the first oh
here we go on the first day I find myself lucky I found something worth
watching on YouTube is that as oh thank you very much I feel very honored now
thank you very much - a sing there must be something better than this is there
is there anything better than this it's a bit like in the olden days when when
because here in the UK we used to just have four channels on the television so
if there is if there is nothing on television on four channels you had
nothing to do you just sat there staring at the wall no people used to do things
before a television they used to so an it the women used to do that I'm not
about before television I'm not about when television was here or multi
channels you mean when we only had four channels I don't think he's listening to
me there are always things to do for example read read learn a new
language how about that are theirs tuned for starters Zook at 77 in Swindon
I think Swindon is where they are out I went to London in 2011 and had a
beautiful visit to Canterbury beautiful town so you went to London and then you
visited Canterbury and of course Canterbury is very close to London
there's a very nice Cathedral in can it's true I would imagine that that's
where you went Canterbury Cathedral your friend Luciano
is here Oh Pavarotti's here hello hello i love mr.
steve says so cat here in argentina it is very sunny and very hot the weather
here is quite nice today we had a lot of sunshine even though it's freezing cold
the Argentina I say I heard you mention him before I came in about somebody
about me going to Brazil Argentina is fine I'll go there as well yes you know
go by there are many countries that I still want to visit I want to visit
Japan one day I'm very fascinated by the Far East and of course I used to live in
China so I'm very fascinated but I would like to do do more traveling to the
other side of the world so maybe South America or that way but not Australia
yes oh I'd love you to go traveling I think you should mr. Duncan just go far
far away please please somebody if you can find somebody and an
all-expenses-paid trip though mr. Duncan please please take you away from I get
the feeling Steve is trying to get rid of me oh do you want me to read any of
these pre-prepared yes well what are you producing this show suddenly well I just
thought not much happening yet BAM I did something what we've been talking for
for 20 odd minutes when you got wooden spoons down there this is a new feature
that I've started this week and it's called no your spoons it's true let's
see how well so let's have a look I'm going to test mr. Steve now I'm going to
see how well mr. Steve knows his spoons spoons what is that to know about a
spoon mr. Duncan there are many different types of spoon that's why so
Kay first of all here's the first spoon I'm going to show mr. Steve the first
spoon and of course you can join in as well it's time to play know your
spoon so there is the first spoon items
you're holding it up to the camera it looks gigantic so everybody watch it's
not a big spoon okay I will show you the scale of the spoon next to my head there
we go that's better so now you can see that the spoon is
quite small it is a small spoon but mr. Steve for 20 pounds
what is this spoon called it's a tea spoon mr. Duncan yes mr. Steve has got
it right this is a teaspoon teaspoon so this is a small spoon quite often used
for serving sugar and very small amounts of maybe ingredients for a recipe so if
you are adding something you might have one teaspoon or maybe two teaspoons and
of course as I said you put sugar if you have
sugar in your tea you will put sugar in your tea one teaspoon two teaspoons or
in his case three teas three teaspoons so if it's my cup of tea
I put three teaspoons in yes in a traditional cup of tea you always have a
teaspoon by the side to stir your tea with so there it is a teaspoon why it's
called a teaspoon and of course there is there is a song called a teaspoon of
sugar helps the medicine go down in the most delightful way and that's from is
it now I can see it but I can't name it now don't tell me it's not GT bang bang
no her over the hills is it from that one over the hills
which runs it from then come on teller I don't is there a show called over the
hill I'm thinking of a song from it oh I see Chitty Bang Bang well I think
you're getting very confused there it's the sound of music that's the one best
similar but it's not from that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go
down I always thought it was from Mary Poppins it could well be cor blimey Mary
Poppins I do I do declare that yamaneika tenors call blowing me Mary Poppins
anyone was watching those musicals just must have been made in the 1960s they
are remaking Mary Poppins and I think it's being released this year there is a
new version a new version of Mary Poppins the comments mr. doom can
they've all vanished no they're there somebody who could tell
as you see can I take control here here we go there it is so a teaspoon of sugar
helps the medicine go down but which show is it from I think it's from Mary I
think it's from Mary Poppins but mr. Steve thinks it thinks it's from Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang somebody said yes it's a film made in
the 1960s a musical all about a car that's got a sort of personality of its
own it can fly can fly it's a magical car also in that film is Dick Van Dyke
and who's the other famous actress with a wonderful voice it is is it it's not
Caitlyn Jenner a bit before her time I think is it Caitlyn Jenner no it is not
is it Caitlyn Jenner I can't remember her name which is why I asked you that's
my answer to every question you can't remember either every question that
people ask me now I always say is it Caitlyn Jenner I've seen here half an
hour and all you've talked about is a spoon so here we go so there it is yes
mr. Steve was right it is a teaspoon so you've won twenty
pounds if I wouldn't know but it's not from The Sound of Music it isn't
I love the way that mr. Steve speaks and his sense of humor Thank You sweetness
you've gotta have a sense of humor when you're around mr. Duncan okay here's the
next spoon we are playing net no your spoons soaked for another 20 pounds yes
what is this spoon it's not a big spoon but then it isn't a small spoon so there
it is I will show you the scale next to my head there it is
so mr. Steve can you name this spoon let's see if anybody else has got it yet
a coffee spoon not quite yes it is from Mary Poppins I me I was right so yes a
spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
somebody's look that up for yes there we go juniors got it right it's a dessert
spoon dessert spoon there it is so somebody somebody said Simona said
soup spoon very close very close yes a soup spoon is normally round it's just a
bit rounder yes so a soup spoon looks like this but the the spoon part is
round so the dessert spoon so this is a dessert spoon normally used for serving
dessert there we go somebody said Alice said tablespoon coming up close again
but a dessert spoon is just a bit is smaller than a dessert then up than a
tablespoon so this is a dessert spoon them together you know there might be
riots in the streets later with people disagreeing on what type of spoon this
is there might be an international incident today caused by this spoon I
doubt it but if you share it together with the next one the logical one to do
next mr. Duncan will be that one Thanks mr. steve is producing the show again do
you like that well I'm helping okay you are helping are you helping
hard or hardly helping so lots of comment and helping I'd be in the
kitchen so here's another spoon oh look at that now this is quite big it's not
huge and take any notice of the color it's a it's a very unclean example of
this type of spoon this is a very old split is antique I think it's
silver-plated it needs a clean it needs a good clean
so this this spoon is quite tarnished tarnished so yes there we go
Jamila has got it right it is in fact a what is it mr. Duncan come on
it's a tablespoon is it not it is it is a huge table but you can also call it a
serving spoon as well so some people refer to this as a serving spoon so mr.
Steve has the dessert spoon however now you can see there is quite a difference
between them quite a tablespoon I've got it wrong now dessert spoon
table spoons so yes often you use a table spoon as well to four servings
which people have said serving good I love mr. Steve helping he is brilliant
oh thank you very much oh you are very misguided so there we go right any more
spoons mr. Duncan you have two more now this this is a good one this is easy
this one so this one mr. Steve what do you think this one is it has been used
many times let's see if anybody else can get this what type of spoon is this I'm
having a look I'm taking control of the the chat on mr. Duncan's phone there we
go not fair Judy said she was first with
something so apologies but that I think Julia is getting
now Julia says I was first sometimes the messages go too quickly and we can't yes
for cooking Ching says for cooking that is that is correct
Julia you got it right again and it is a wooden spoon Julie jeez
yes Julie gee a wooden spoon yes as a lot of people have also pointed out it
is used for cooking and making jam yes you can use it for making jam
in fact this spoon has many many uses it's often used in cooking you use it
whilst cooking yeah and you know why mr. Duncan why you use a wooden spoon for
cooking I think this is something you mentioned last week actually because is
it because of the material yes because the wood is soft so it doesn't scratch
the bottom of your saucepan so this is very good for using in sauce pans or
things that you don't want to get scratched because if you use a metal
spoon it will scratch the sauce but but taken if you've got a a saucepan that's
coated in a nonstick coating if you've got a non-stick pan you don't want to
use metal spoons with that you want to use a wooden spoon and this one has been
and you can get wooden spoons and all sorts of sizes you know I want to be
when I grow up I want to be I want to be one of those people on on game shows you
know when they showed the prize is and then someone stands there and they show
the prize I want to be that person now normally it's a very sexy girl or a sexy
woman but now I want it to be be me instead so so they might say tonight the
star prize is a wooden spoon and then I will show the spoon I will go Jim zero
to have said it said it's a Russian spoon I I'm not sure what a Russian
spoon is but you could be right there oh yes here we go in Russians with wooden
spoons a type of musical instrument musical instrument I didn't know I could
bring it on mr. Duncan's head you you use this as an instrument to play
music Teflon yes Teflon there we go Teflon why have you
said that because I read a says nonstick is Teflon yes if which is rustic if a so
if a saucepan is nonstick you know normally they put Teflon on the saucepan
and then the saucepan doesn't if you burn something which mr. Steve does
quite often and as aridaias said the coating Teflon is actually poisonous so
if you use a metal spoon you'll scrape off little bits of it and then it'll be
in your soup or be in whatever you're cooking and then your you'll you're
actually ingested in this poisonous so yes non-stick pans very important to use
a wooden spoon ingest if you ingest it means you eat and then it goes into your
body it is absorbed you ingest Oh somebody's asked whether you've got any
children if have I got any children no definitely not no we the government have
been castrated many years ago they said it was for the good of humanity that I
didn't produce any offspring so no somebody said they're like this spoon
this spoons big so we can't Eugene says we can hit two spoons together to make
it rhythm what switch that's an annoying sound
that's a rhythm yes you can play the spoon and play this bit yeah I was going
to do that if you put the spoons together like that I know need some sort
of but I think you have to hold them in a certain way and sort of a sort of dude
that's blown your microphones there we go so there's neatly segue into the
weave I'd done that he just shouted at me so here's here's a lovely spoon I
love this this is my favorite spoon in the whole world if anyone asks you what
which spoon does mr. Duncan love the most this is my all-time favorite spoon
isn't that nice it's lovely and this is very useful for many things
you can you could bang nails in with it so if you have you have to clearly jeez
getting quick with a salad spoon yes you can use it as a salad yes you can toss
with this it's very good for tossing a soup spoon by God you gotta have a big
mouth to get that in I don't think this is a soup spoon maybe maybe this is one
of you know you know the story Goldilocks and the three bears maybe
this is this is daddy bear's spoon Alice says Nadel for eating is it's not really
a lei yes you could use it as a lathe Legos are usually mundo metal yes I
think it looks very much like a ladle it is kind of but that's what I mean this
this actual spoon has many different uses you can stir stir I love that word
by the way stir because it has a lot of meanings the word stir if you stir it
means you move so what what would you call that could you mumble while I'm
talking more often somebody says here too much spoon too
much spoon yes this spoon is the best spoon ever I advise you to have one of
them I think I think I think they mean we've been talking too much about spoons
I think that's what you you can't talk too much about a spoon serving space
terrible what a terrible spoons are brilliant stir you see if you stir you
can you can move you can wake up if something starts to move you can say it
stirs if something comes to life after being very still you can say oh I see
now it stirs too many types of spoon make me confused let's go through them
very quickly again so we've gone from having too many spoons to doing it all
over again right in order let's hold them up I'll hold these too you hold
that one it's almost as if we didn't rehearse this
and that one so starting with the smallest teaspoon slightly bigger
dessert spoon over to you mr. Duncan bigger again this is this could be used
as a serving spoon a tablespoon and also as a tablespoon so this one has more
than one use and of course we have the wooden spoon we do which you can use for
stirring things and this won't cooking this won't damage your saucepan and also
apparently in Russia you can use it as a musical instrument and finally my big
stirring spoon or maybe later you can use it as a ladle ladle so yes I like
that a stir so stir also can mean to make trouble or problems for another
person so maybe you stir trouble you stir it you say something that creates
trouble or problems for other people you stir you stir something if you have a
big mouth you can use it well mr. Duncan could easily use that as a dessert spoon
what are you saying are you saying I have a big mouth there we go
I'm getting the hang of this now Steve's getting what is a ladle it says Rianne a
ladle is something used for serving usually soup yes so it's a big you can
use it it's got it's got a very big and you can serve what a big Earth what's an
Earth it's used for serving large quantities of something so if you want
to serve a large quantity of something it's almost like a little Bowl on a
handle so you can serve something in a large quantity and pour I'm saving the
soup and I got a poor one bit into yours one bit into yours
that's a ladle also it's a very good weapon so if you're walking
around at night keep one of these in your pocket and if someone comes up to
you just just clunk them hit them on the head a few times and they won't bother
you again yes a lathe is a long handed spoon for serving liquid food thank you
very much there we go very well put whoever said that Alice very well put
indeed oh if somebody just asked you about your wristband oh no please don't
don't ask him about the wristband you have to watch the beginning of the when
I came on to find out that you have to you have to watch the livestream again I
did explain the the wristband it's gone now by the way it's gone I magically
made it disappeared I did something here Swan wants to know can we show knives
and they're different you well unfortunately unfortunately mr. Steve
has been told he can't handle all have a knife in his hand unfortunately so
unfortunately a couple of his doctors have told me that Steve can't have sharp
objects maybe we can do knives next week or should I go fetch a selection of
knives I have a feeling mr. Steve might be getting a knife out in a moment and
sticking it in me so ten past three mr. Steve I believe you have some words to
show us now on Thursday night we were talking all about music weren't we oh
yes we did touch on that subject I was talking about my favorite music from the
1980s and I thought today it would be a good idea to hand everything over to you
and for you to talk about some words connected to music or performing because
there are quite a few now I think you have quite a list so what I will do I
will stand aside and our like let mr. Steve take over oh and there you are
thought you were going to stay here and comment
oh really would you like that now go away I thought you would be glad to see
me go yeah I thought why you can do you can just stay there not too far away in
case I need you right so these are birds musical tones but they're also
terms that are commonly used in everyday English as well so they're connected
good so I haven't just gone for musical terms that you might not that only be
used by musicians I've gone for terms that can be used in everyday everyday
speak so here's the first one tempo tempo is the speed of a piece of music
the speed of a piece of music the tempo for example a funeral march would be
said to be in a slow tempo and you can have a slow tempo a fast tempo a medium
tempo many musical terms dozens and dozens of musical terms are used to
explain to a musician how the composer wants the speed of that music to go and
I'm not going to go through all those but a couple of them would be Allegro
which is fast and Largo which is slow so tempo is just the speed of a piece of
music but if we're talking about non musical use of the word tempo we can
also describe it if you look in the dictionary it says tempo is the pace of
any movement or activity so the temp for example the tempo of the war is
quickening so we're just saying that the speed of the battle is getting faster
and faster and the pace is gathering another word for tempo would be pace the
pace of something or the tempo of something the tempo of the football
match has slowed down the runner needs to increase his tempo if he wants to win
tempo just means the speed of something so you can use that in everyday English
so here's another one
harmony harmony harmony in music is the sound of two or more notes played
together that sounds Pleasant or desirable a chord - three or four notes
played together will form a harmony so that's in music where you've got musical
harmony notes played together that sound nice or alright
but in a non-musical way you would say that harmony means that you are in
agreement with something or somebody you are in harmony with that person
harmonious is another word wave using that word it means sweet sounding or
free from disagreement or ill feeling so if you are in harmony with someone it
means that there's no ill feeling you agree everything's very pleasant
harmonious it's connected with music where music sounds nice nice harmony so
if you were in harmony with somebody everything's Pleasant everything's nice
everybody's getting on well together so mr. Duncan and mr. Steve are in
harmony with one another well when it comes to teaching English sometimes we
have our disagreements we would say to be in disharmony but I think most of the
time we are in harmony so there's a word that can be used musically and also in
everyday speak as well harmony are we in harmony mr. Duncan
would you say are we in harmony I suppose I suppose you might say
something is harmonious two people who get on well together are in harmony
together yes so a man and wife that gets on very well together they're in harmony
okay here's another one chord Duma chord so technically a chord is a combination
of notes usually three or more played together and when those notes are
played together they make a harmony so a chord is a combination of notes usually
three or more played together so you might you might so could you give an
example like of the notes because some some notes don't go together well as
chords is that right that's right and slowly sang-doo common musical chord
would be a major chord or a minor chord a major and minor major chord is we're
not really getting into musical oh no it's funny but a major chord is is is
the certain combination of notes in a scale of notes that forms a major chord
a major chord sounds right if you play a major chord chord it sounds people know
what if they're musical that what that means a minor chord sounds slightly
scary so so it hits it hits the ear in a pleasant way yes a major chord is a
pleasant sounding chord a happy chord people call it whereas a minor chord I
won't go into the technicalities of that today but a minor chord is one that
sounds just a little bit scary maybe so or not scary slightly depressing a minor
chord music played in a minor chord is is is a bit sort of depressing not
depressing I'm looking for the right word but you would say it was same as
miserable no miserable miserable miserable and then you change to a major
chord and everything brightens up so I wasn't going to really go into that much
of detail so it's the difference between some of them it's very somber and
something that's very pleasant often love songs are in minor chord because
you often get particularly if it's if it's a a song about about baby love that
isn't going very well then it will be played in a minor chord
whereas if something's all happy it's played in a major chord and of course in
any piece of music you switch between the two depending on the mood that you
want to create but in oh so that's the musical way of
using the phrase cord but in everyday English you can say for example it you
can strike a chord with somebody if you strike a chord with someone it means
that you agree with them or you agree with their point of view so for example
you could you could listen to the a politician speaking and he might say
something that that you really agree with you you can say oh that really
struck a chord with me what that politician said yes so if something
strikes a chord it makes you sort of think suddenly or maybe you suddenly
become aware of something instantaneously yes that strikes a chord
with me it may be one two or three separate
little things that somebody said that all come together to form one little
idea it's a bit like a proper chord on a musical instrument two or three notes
played together and if somebody strikes a chord it means that there's a number
of elements coming together that makes that really resonate with you and sound
like it's true and we've all heard politicians that can say things that
make us believe that you know what they're saying is true so if you strike
a chord with somebody it means that you're in agreement with them so that's
that one that's chord will have a will have a
couple of more and then what and then I also have some new words that have been
introduced this week into the Oxford English Dictionary yes those lovely
people at the Oxford University Press have added some new words this week to
the OED the Oxford English Dictionary so we'll
have a little look at those later on as well this one's been around for a while
pitch pitch Pete ITC H that is in musical terms that's the degree of
lowness or highness of a musical note or a voice so a low-pitched note is a low
you sound low a high-pitched voice first guy to be talking very high up like that
would be a high-pitched noise pitch hello my name's high pitch Eric but I'm
going to speak in a manly low-pitched voice it's actually somebody on YouTube
called high pitch Eric m'kay he's a really huge guy but he has
this amazing high voice he sounds like Mickey Mouse and he hello my name's high
pitch Eric high pitch whose high pitch right so can you pitch a note mr. Duncan
there's another use of the word to pitch a note what do we mean when we say can
you pitch a note that means can you copy that exact note that somebody has played
either on a piano or somebody says demonstrates that no can you equal it
can you do exactly the same note so if I were to go hello can you copy that and
do the same thing me yes well say go on I know you can do it no that was it go
on can I play the spoons instead no go do what I just did then la la here we go
mr. Duncan has pitched the same note if you were to do hello you wouldn't be
pitching the note you see so picture note means do exactly the same frequency
basically Alice says there is an expression to pitch your voice higher
which is to raise your voice yes and when people when people start to get
excited they start to talk higher and higher because they make themselves
sound and everybody can hear them oh my goodness that's what people do and they
start to get excited if you get excited you may speak in a higher pitched voice
and in fact you can say that your voice has reached fever pitch when you're
having more and more excited and you can't stop and you're getting really
upset about something you can say I'm talking in fever pitch is that not right
missus I don't know yes I do I have a pitch do I have to call an ambulance
there we go is there a doctor in the house
but other uses of the word pitch that I've got nothing to do with with notes
at all you could pitch a tent which means to erect a tent so if you're
pitching something if you're pitching a tent it means you're putting it together
you're erecting the tent and pitch you put it in place you can pitch a ball
pitch example in baseball where the though the person is throwing the ball
should a batsman that's pitching the ball you know what I throw like a girl
are used as are you surprised when I throw a ball this is how I throw a ball
I go right so another use of the word pitch is a football pitch so a playing
field a playing field for a sport like football or cricket or baseball that is
called the pitch the area that the game is played in usually on grass or
something like that so that's the like a football pitch apparently also you can
say pitch dark or pitch darkness you can I think that means absolute yes because
pitch is is is tar that's it which is black that's it used for use for making
road so if you say something's pitch black it says literally as dark as pitch
so pictures like thing stuff they put on the road it's very sticky and black so
absolute darkness so when it's completely dark you can't see anything
you can say that it's pitch black as dark as pitch so we've had playing field
and now as another use of the word pitch is a salesman's persuasive
talk he's pitch his or her pitch if somebody is trying to sell you a product
they will go through all the benefits of the product and they will talk long and
enthusiastically about it and that's their sales pitch yes
Tomic has just said pitch an idea yes the same thing you are trying to put
something across house right to persuade another person to accept what you are
saying you pitch so a sales pitch or if you are pitching and either you pitch
the idea you are persuading persuading another person to accept your idea
so in the film industry the film business show business if you write a
story and then you go to a film company and you want them to make the film of
your story you have to pitch your idea and that you could do that at work
you could be a group of colleagues and you're trying to persuade them the best
way of doing something at work and you would put your pitch forward and and
they might agree with you mmm so many uses of the word pitch of course we were
mainly looking at the the musical term which is the Highness or lowness of a
note can you pitch a note if you some people can some people can't you've
either got that ability or you haven't I like this one do you yes okay can you
show this one don't say anything just hold it up coming in 2019 the next
terrible Star Wars movie the next movie that will make everyone go what have
they done to Star Wars why is Star Wars so bad now do you remember in 1978 when
everyone got so excited about the original Star Wars movie and now now
they've just destroyed it what if they don't hold the sign up again what's it
got to do with solo mr. de solo is the name of the next Star Wars movie why are
we advertising the next poor Star Wars movie well I'm
not advertising it I'm making a social comment about it it's a bit of social
commentary so there it is so solo as in Han Solo who is a
character from the original Star Wars movie they are making don't think you'll
find that in the Oxford English teacher they are actually making a movie about
the young Han Solo I'm sorry I'm sorry that is going to happen I think it's
about time to leave this planet let's talk about what the word solo actually
means according to the dictionary mr. Duncan we are definitely not in harmony
at the moment solo it's a musical term for a musical piece should I say written
for one voice or one instrument a solo a solo singer or a solo violinist to do
something on your own piano solo well I'm coming onto that obviously in non
musical tones to go solo means to do something on your own fly a plane solo
for example I do many things solo so there we go
you could to go solo also means you break away from a group and go and do
something on your own so many many pop singers start off in a group and then
they decide to break off on their own and go solo go solo yes and can I think
about can you think of a well-known situation one is George Michael of
course George Michael used to be in a group called Wham and then he left and
he went solo he decided to have a career in singing on his own he went solo
Michael Jackson Michael Jackson of course was with the Jacksons and then he
went off on his own and formed a solo career and the rest is history
yes but of course you could do that at work
for example you could be within a group of people and it's not working so you
decide to go off and do it on your own because you think you can do it better
than the group because they're arguing all the time so you go off and go solo
and do it do it your own way often that means that could be another
use of the word you just do something your own way yes I do that at work all
the time you are a very solo person I am I've got lots in this you see you've
upset the order of the way I was doing things now don't worry about it can we
just do one more okay how about this what we've got to do two more because
these two go together you are so awkward rhythm rhythm rhythm
rhy th m there's a very strange spelling of a sound rhythm it's a very strange
words a very strange word is in musical terms it's the pattern produced the
pattern and produced by the emphasis and length of notes in music so it's a
pattern a regular recurring pattern so in nature there are lots of rhythms in
nature the Communist rhythm that we all know about is our heartbeat or heart
rhythm boo-boom boo-boom boo-boom but that's a regular repeating cycle or
seasons is that the sound your heart makes boo-boom boo-boom
something like that it doesn't sound very healthy to me so it's a pattern and
emphasis and the length of notes in music a regular recurring that motion or
repeated pattern over time so that could be repeated over over seconds or minutes
or long periods of time in music it's typically repeated in in quite short
periods of time when we talk about rhythm sometimes we also mentioned
something called B P M beats per minute yes so the rhythm of something well
that's the tempo or the etre of the rhythm yes the tempo that's the
tempo people get tempo and rhythm mixed up but they're very different tempo is
the speed of the music the rhythm stays the same but the rhythm might speed up
if the tempo is faster so if you've got to a combination if you've got set a
dead ur dead ur dead ur dead ur dead urdead but if you that's the rhythm dead
ur dead urdead but if that was ya can be played at a slower tempo dead ur dead
urdead or it could be faster did it that added depth so that's the rhythm is the
repeating notes the pattern and the tempo is the speed of the rhythm so you
are wrong mr. Duncan wrong sometimes you're such a know-it-all oh dear so
there we go in nature we've as we said there's lots of different rhythms even
animals walking and running it's everything's got a rhythm the way
the waves crash against the beach it's a rhythm a pattern repeated over a period
of time life has a rhythm so exactly yes so in music a very common rhythm is the
or beat is the four-four beat four beats to every bar so that's dead dead
lots of lots of dance music pop music is a very common time signature so four
beats in a bar repeated rhythm all the way through another one is 2 4 which is
the March sort of a March a much faster Dada Dada Dada Dada Dada Dada that's the
sort of March rhythm and then we've got the the three-four rhythm or the 3/4
beat which is the waltz dadadada
we haven't rehearsed that are ten by with only rehearsed so that's the common
ballroom dancing rhythm or waltz music as it's called and I've got something
poetry poetry is has as rhythm to it because you stress certain phrases don't
you mr. Duncan you're very good at poetry and that often has repeating sort
of rhythms and sounds so that's a rhythm in poetry and the way the reason I said
that waltz got a gossiper CR mentioned waltz which is the 3/4 time rhythm the
ballroom dancing for couples which we just demonstrated there we didn't
actually dance and we won't demonstrate that because I'm not very good at
dancing so the waltz is a flowing melody in a
3/4 time it sort of is it like don't and yes that's ether you are familiar with
music that a lot of you will be the Viennese waltzes are very common by that
famous composer Strauss most of his pieces of music were in 3/4 and mr.
Duncan is ballroom dancing with a penguin which I don't think it's
probably ever been seen before live anywhere Shane Dawson's never done this
far so Strauss music the Blue Danube the Blue Danube a famous piece of music a
Viennese Waltz done there's a very famous piece of news that the same as a
Viennese slice well not quite a venus lice is a kind of cake derp derp derp
derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp
derp derp want everyone good one wanted they don't attend unite
disagreement at the end at that but waltz also has another way you can use
this phrase in other ways in English so if you move in a casual or confident or
bold manner you can be say to be waltzing into the room so you move in a
casual confident manner she came waltzing in here like she owned the
place so if he waltz in somewhere it just means you walking in a very
confident manner and everybody hates you because you're just so confident you
know there's a fool of yourself there's another word swag swag swag yeah
swagger is free swag in that's a more modern use of the phrase to waltz in
apparently jay-z the rapper jay-z was the first person to to introduce swag
into the vocabulary of people so if you walk into a room and you casually stroll
in in a nice rhythmical manner and you look like you own the place
people are saying oh look at him just waltzing in here like he owns the place
a lot of people say mr. Duncan has got lots of swag there we go another if you
if you win something easily that's another use of the word waltz so that
for example the thieves just walked in and waltzed off with the TV and nobody
made a comment so you just waltz in grab something and off you go yes you can do
that or you can get it you can come into a room everyone's for example in a party
everyone's all the men have been eyeing up this girl all night and I think
eyeing up yes they've been attracted to this girl I've been looking at or trying
to build up the confidence to go and ask her for a dance for example or ask her
for a number you can't do that nowadays and okay let's just you need if you do
it nowadays you went you end up on the front page of the New York Times but I'm
saying mr. Duncan that you can't ask her ask a woman now to dance so somebody is
a terrace trying to build up the confidence to go
and talk to a young or a girl trying to talk to a boy somewhere and then you've
probably waited an hour or what should I say what and then somebody else just
comes in walks straight up to them waltzes in and ask them a few questions
get them run off they've gone Qingdao is watching so win something easier to
waltz in and grab it hello Qingdao we've got Qingdao watching
someone in China Gillian Gillian or Gillian is watching in Qingdao which is
in China yeah getting in another one here is a musical term upbeat
oh yes that's me upbeat that means to be optimistic so a conductor does this with
his baton that's called the upbeat but if you are upbeat in life it means you
are optimistic happy raring to go what's the opposite of that is when a conductor
is doing that with his baton that's called the downbeat of his baton but if
you use downbeat in everyday language it means that you're pessimistic down beats
very down beans oh do you think anyone's going to be watching you I don't think
anyone's gonna be watching us today what what's the point what's the point of
doing this no one's watching us go come on Steve let's go that's good nobody's
watching nobody's watching us girl you've been downbeat negative but on the
other hand I'm going through them all now mr. Duncan told me not to grab
haven't got a few left now maestro maestro maestro I'll say three zaimes
maestro is the a conductor in music he's the conductor he's the person the
accomplished person it means somebody who was very accomplished very able they
know everything about that subject the maestro some what some people say that
I'm the maestro of English the the maestro of English the maestro
yes well I was going to use that an example we mr. Duncan so big-headed
you could use your wooden spoon dad dad dad dad dad can I go through the rest of
these now I might as well
I'm just conducting Steve mr. Steve is the maestro of crazy nothing crazy is
that it now got some more just do one more I can't do one more because this is
a set a sect doing that means a collection of thing that can go through
very quickly though no in that case in that case we're not doing any more of
those we're moving on to something else can you guess what it is is very
interesting mr. Duncan some new words were introduced so it and then we can
come back to mine afterwards so prepare these for nothing do ever clanking these
spoons if I'd done that have you noticed in in every live stream I make a noise
you do he gets very annoyed at me doing that there's normally a lot of noise
coming from your mouth and but he's making clanking all these spoons
together which is your throne on the floor okay Steve what what note is this
so Steve knows about music so I'm gonna produce a note now on this spoon so what
what note is this sounds like sounds like a bee or a sea to me look Dean
oh no that's flat it's flat I haven't got perfect pitch if I have perfect
pitch you know what the note is one one more time what with which note sounds
like a sea to me see yes there's no answer right without the keyboard I
don't know because I haven't got perfect pitch you look a bit like a sea thanks a
lot your breaths a bit stinky by the way I think he's cleaned his teeth - that
wasn't my breath get this computer sorted that is not
that is not my bad breath that's just a fart so will that curry he had on Friday
night Oh curry would you like to see stepping on
these spoon they're gonna have an accident in the studio any minute
there is an accident taking place it's been taking place since 2 o'clock and
get a drink of water I'm a bit a bit part we're gonna round we're gonna have
a break now would you like to see mr. Steve and
myself in the kitchen making curry really yes would you like to see that
mr. Steve and myself and also this particular segment has subtitles as well
so stay there Steve I'm going to work though I hope so if it doesn't work it's
been fun being here now just in case everything breaks is that can I stay
here while you go but you stay you don't need to be with me you don't have to
hold my hand I'm okay I'm a big boy now I'll just carry on doing this solo mr.
Duncan until you until you flick a few switches only computer press a few
buttons and show a clip of us making a curry which we made on Friday night
did we not are you ready mr. Duncan do you want me to count you down oh and now
mr. Duncan is going to show a clip a film of us pre-recorded when we were
making a curry on Friday night
oh hello there welcome to my kitchen it is now Friday night and I am busy here
preparing my special Friday night treat mr. Steve will be coming down soon to
help me but for now I am here by myself and can you see what I'm doing I'm
peeling some potatoes we need to have some potatoes peeled peel it's a very
interesting word the word peel can actually be used in many ways for
example peel can mean to remove something slowly for example you peel
the skin from a potato you peel the potato also peel can be described as
removing your clothes slowly so again it is something you are taking off very
slowly so you peel your clothes off also the word peel can mean to ring Dean
Dean a bell the sound of a bell ringing can be described as peal and of course
the thing that you remove from the potato can also be called peel so the
word peel can be used in many many different ways so as I mentioned where
we are having curry tonight ah yes every Friday night mr. Steve and myself we
always have a delicious curry so mr. Steve will be joining me very soon here
in the kitchen and between you and me he will be doing all of the hard work all I
have to do is peel these potatoes I think some of these potatoes have
actually become a little bit rotten so I'm gonna have to be very careful
or peeling these potatoes I have to make sure that all of the rotten parts are
removed because of course no one wants to eat rotten potatoes of course not
mr. Steve will be joining me a little bit later on the live stream and also
here in the kitchen because mr. Steve will be cooking for curry so all I'm
doing for now is preparing the meal preparing the potatoes but to be honest
with you mr. Steve will be doing most of the work we will wait for a few moments
for mr. Steve to come down the stairs and join me here in the kitchen so as
you can see mr. Steve has now joined me in the kitchen so what are we eating
tonight mr. Steve curry having a curry tonight so I've got everything that I
need laid out here and it's a strange curry this because it's my own sort of
concoction here's a word concoction option and it's mr. Steve's special
mixture special recipe it's a bit of this a bit of that so I'm starting off
with some red split lentils there we go chopping those close to the camera
lentils because I like mentors in a curry and they're good for yes lentils
are very good for you so this particular curry is going to be a fish curry and
also with the lentils as well and what style of curry is it Steve so this is a
particular style of courage dialect okay these take about 20 minutes to cook
must say we are enjoying the banging so
banging away in the kitchen so I'll just put this onto the stove or the cooker
and we'll get that cooking so I'm going over here so how long do we have to cook
the lentils for how long did they take Steve right the lentils take about 20
minutes which is what I just said oh right so this is what we're having look
at this we're having buna style curry if you can
give it a bit more else buna buna style which is in the thing I
think the thing I love about this Steve is that this this tastes is good as a
curry that you would have in a restaurant so if you went to a
restaurant and had had a buna it would taste as good as this stuff in the jar
we're not being sponsored by the way just in case you think we're being
sponsored by this company we're not loitering but should you wish to contact
us and and ask her to sponsor and we would be very happily do so because yes
just in case Loyd Grossman is watching and you would like to sponsor my English
lessons please please get in touch thank you very much well let's give him
another plug because there's lots of other flavours that was the buna which
is essentially a very curry based around onions and tomatoes onions and tomatoes
well I think there's all Curry's about onions in heaven over that one got a lot
of tomatoes in we could also have a Rogan Josh there we go a Rogan Josh
which tomatoes and fried onions with ginger and coriander are delicious I
must admit there's one thing I love about curries it's when it has lots of
ginger in it not many people like ginger some people hate ginger and what's the
other one Steve the other one is the old favourite tikka masala
you know if you're not keen on a strong curry that's the one to have tikka
masala so that's quite a mild one right a mild one with with lots of cream and
the yogurt in it so it's a bit more fattening than your average calorie so
that particular one isn't very healthy now I bought these they were on offer
today really yes they're normally around 2 pounds 20 a jar ok but they were on
offer today for a pound a pound each so I got it a dozen of them twelve of them
today so keep them in there and so you know saving a lot of money I tell you
what they used to do there's only I'm being very pedantic here pedantic
there's another word but antique means very picky a person who picks the fine
details or the faults out of everything when they first brought these curries
out years ago they used to have 425 grams per jar and then they shrunk the
jars down and charge the same price well there's a lot nowadays you know you know
the same thing happens to chocolate bars as well they keep making chocolate bars
or boxes of chocolates smaller and smaller and every time they do that they
don't reduce the price so they make the product smaller but they don't lower the
price they charge exactly the same thing it really annoys me yes and the problem
is that's not quite enough for - the jar isn't quite big enough for two whereas
previously it was so I have to bulk it out with some lentils I had a bit more
of my own curry powder into it and well you'll see what else I add in to turn
this from what is what they're already very good but I added some extras to it
to spice it up even more so mr. Steve uses this particular mix but also he
adds his own little magic ingredients as well right I'm going to keep my eye eye
on those lentils because they boil Oh very easily I've just realized I'm
starting to sound like Loyd Grossman this is how Loyd Grossman talk hello my
name is Lloyd Grossman I don't think anyone will know I don't
think anyone will know who Loyd Grossman is but anyway he used to be on
television all the time but nowadays he nowadays he
is a celebrity Shep
okay so while those lentils are cooking I'm going to prepare some other things
so mr. steve has just rinsed the rice we really do like sweet potatoes so much
just one just one Oh Vidya yes
the lentils are very prone to boiling over the lentil so I shall just peel
this sweet potato like so and I like to cook the sweet potatoes in with the rice
rather than cooking them separately because then you'll retain a lot of the
goodness that comes out of it and it saves a saucepan retain I love that word
retain if you retain something you keep it back you keep it back you preserve it
you retain those in with the rice like that and there we go oh yes there we go
and so that in with the rice and I'll put those on for a slow cook
and I'm also going to educate rid of the rubbish here I'm gonna put some extra
tomatoes in well but I'm also going to rinse the tomatoes to get rid of the
pesticides which you might think sounded strange this is something that Steve
does a lot actually he does it all the time so this is something Steve does he
always he rinses everything and I mean everything in vinegar even his
strawberries when he has strawberries he even does does it with the strawberries
so he puts the strawberries on vinegar because he he thinks it will get rid of
all the horrible additives and pesticides that are on the vegetables
and also on the fruit it does this is a mixture of water vinegar and salt and
then I just five minutes soak any fruit or vegetable well not all fruit and
vegetables but ones that I think are going to be prone to collecting the
pesticides and like strawberries things like that strawberries and I like to
wash tomatoes strawberries and dududu with blackberries Steve yes fruits any
any fruit that could have been sprayed so most fruit most fruit I don't bother
with if it's not organic if it's organic then I don't bother but if it's not
organic I will always rinse it just in case there are a few pesticides lurking
on the outside you might notice here by the way that these potatoes these sweet
potatoes are organic can you see on there can you see they are actually
organic sweet potatoes so with the rice and so was
are the lentils now let's see how the lentils are doing because they need a
stir so I've got my wooden spoon now I'm gonna give them a stir so I'm going over
here right so the lentils nicely cooked
so next stage is to add the curry sauce boom no we're going off so I'll put that
in yeah swing it out with a bit of water
because just to get all the lovely juice out of there a bit of quick stir I'm
slaving away in the kitchen slaving away it's an expression often used to
describe someone who's working hard in the kitchen some garlic granules because
I can't be bothered to buy fresh garlic and cut it up that is better but this is
a substitute so I'll add some garlic granules I will add the fish so I've got
mackerel in spring water which I've drained and I'm going to add those in
now is this some I'll say one thing Steve it's very fishy the smell but
macro is one of the smelliest fish it's very smelly but in that curry it's
very nice and it's very healthy because it's got lots of healthy fats in it
mackerel and we've just got a small tin in there so we've got some protein hmm
and I shall bring that to the boil I will add my tomatoes which are now
happily devoid of pesticides devoid that's a great word if something is
divor it is it is without it is without it it
is devoid there's already a lot of tomatoes in this curry sauce but I like
to add some fresh tomatoes as well just for a bit of added flavor so we can
leave that to cook but when it's come to the boil and just before we serve it I
will have this as a final addition and it's my favorite it's garam masala we
saw that earlier because earlier earlier we were talking all about
Somozas Somozas at the start of today's livestream we talked about Somozas and i
said that mr. Steve likes to put that in his baked beans I add this to everything
it's absolutely delicious its aromatic spicy it's not it's not strong in the
sense that it's it's hot it's just very flavorsome so you can add this to
everything oh I just love the smell of it so I'm going to add that in in about
five minutes time
for those who have just joined us hello this is mr. Steve and mr. Duncan on a
Friday night but for those who are worried that this is not a live stream
don't worry it is we will be back live in a few moments but at the moment we
are cooking curry if you just want to cook some fish and give it a little bit
of flavor you can just sprinkle this on to fish to meat to anything just to give
it a bit of a bit of an Indian sort of curry flavor but without making it too
hot I love it and it's lovely in baked beans that is one of the problems with
curry because some people don't like it too spicy but they do like the flavor
and the aroma of the spices but they don't want it too hot they don't want
the curry to burn their mouth out yes and what makes a curry hot of course is
the chili and that's what makes it very hot whereas this is everything but it
doesn't have the chili in it so it gives you the flavor without the heat spice so
I'm ready to add the garam masala now because this is all cooked the fish is
already cooked anyway the lentils are cooked so I'm going to add this in
I need a teaspoon
as we said earlier mr. coop here we go here comes the garam masala only a
teaspoon because otherwise you can't taste anything else
oh all the smell coming off there absolutely my mouth is watering at the
prospect of eating this lentil fish curry and as I speak the rice is coming
to the boil and we've got the sweet potatoes in there as well cooking with
them so that's coming to the boil so I think that's about it we're nearly ready
to eat now give it ten minutes oh no I'm gonna go ahead and do the exercise mr.
Steve is going upstairs he almost forgot there did you see that he forgot that he
had to go and do his exercises upstairs don't worry you won't see that right bye
for now I'm back in the studio or are you gonna film is eating this we'll just
carry on shall we so we will be back in a moment at the dinner table so we will
actually be sitting at the dining table ready to eat the meal right now through
the wonders of modern editing so there it is our Friday night curry is ready to
eat and now we will return you back to the studio
no mr. Steve that's my potato
okay so um thank you for watching that video mr. duncan and i cooking a curry
on friday now as you can see we are outside now mr. duncan has used that
camera brought it outside while he was playing that pre-recorded video and
pitched the camera see we used that word earlier he's pitched the camera outside
here on this piece of grass so mr. Duncan is at this very moment walking
from his studio over to this camera now we had some lovely comments I was
reading the comments coming in about us cooking the curry and I've learned
something I didn't know that garam meant salt so thank you for that whoever said
that I didn't know it meant salt but I do like to add the garam masala in just
before the curry is ready just to give it a few little extra a little bit of
extra flavor Oh mr. Duncan's coming now and it's very
exciting we're all very upbeat because we're outside now mr. Steve is very
excited he always likes to go outside during the live stream so I'm very
pleased to see that everything is still work is it he's sure we're still on I
think I think we're still on are we still on I think so so now we are
outside live and yes apparently garam means salt I just said that however I
didn't I did I didn't hear that you see so that's my excuse no there is an
interesting word in the English language before I get on to the new words because
this week many new words have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary but
edie yes the OED of course and what particular word that I do like now it
isn't a new word but it's blag blag have you heard of this word Steve blag blag
ah yes it means that you're sort of faking it in a way yes you normally you
black when you are trying to get into a place
or two to do something by slightly exaggerating your abilities or maybe the
things that you've done in the past so blag B L a G
it means you talk your way into a situation and sometimes people when they
are trying to get employment they might flag their way into a job by changing
some of the details of their experience in the past so some people say it's
lying but I don't think it's necessarily lying sometimes you might exaggerate
your abilities or maybe you change things to give you give yourself more of
a chance of doing something so the word is blag blag so there we go means you've
got a gift with words in promoting yourself above what you're probably
capable of so here we go some new words have been added to the oxford english
dictionary this week that it's true yes so here we go the first word this has
been added this week I'm sure a lot of people will recognize this word there it
is a shopping e shopping I do lots of that mr. Duncan yes so this is a new
word that's been recently added to the Oxford Dictionary and a shopping means
what what does it mean do you think Steve shopping online yes shopping on
the internet many people now do e shopping e shopping so there it is the
word shopping it's a new word and it has recently been added to the Oxford
Dictionary this week yes this week here's another one oh this is a good one
again a very modern one can you see it can you see the word
there it is I don't know what you've done there I'm just making sure that we
still got people watching is that's nice so there's another word co-parenting now
this is a very modern very trendy word now this means that in a family unit the
mother and father both take charge of raising the children so maybe sometimes
the father will stay at home and maybe sometimes the the wife will stay at home
so they are co-parenting they are sharing the responsibility of being a
parent it like cohabiting it is a bit doing something together being together
Co gloves on so when you use Co as a prefix it means to do something together
in a group in a group next one yes baby can you see it and this is an
interesting word it's called can you see it hangry hangry now do you know what
this means Steve is it like hungry yes it is it is when you are it is when you
feel hungry and also angry at the same time so because you are so hungry you
want your food straight away so we can say that you are hangry hangry
is it also sometimes when you're hungry I get very irritable and I'm hungry and
sort of argumentative because I think my blood Sugar's drop is that the same
thing it is you say I'm hangry when I'm just getting bit bitter and a bit nasty
because I'm I'm just hungry yes when you're when when mr. Steve gets hangry
it means that he's very hungry and also he feels angry because he he hasn't
eaten yet just hold the other end of that
want to now just hold the end go on grab hold of it both hands so there it is can
you see that one no mansplain mansplain does anyone know
what mansplain means man splain anyone know there it is it's a word that's been
used a lot recently and it has been added to the oxford dictionary this week
mansplain mansplain is an occurrence I don't know why I keep doing that yeah
after this it's going up on its own I know it disappears off the screen yes
don't worry about it oh dear mansplain mansplain is to talk in a very
patronizing way so if you talk to someone in a very patronizing way as if
they are a child normally this refers to a man talking to a woman so he explains
things in a very simplistic and almost patronizing way so mansplain mansplain
so if I was if you were a woman I would say oh no I do you want a drink you want
something to drink do you feeling thirsty yeah or how does a how does this
mobile phone work and maybe you go oh it's it's pictures that come from the
sky they come from the sky and then they go into your magic box that you look at
yes and that's mansplaining so the man will simplify things too much man
explaining yes and splain so mansplain is a combination of man and explain I
bet I bet if a woman takes her car to a garage for servicing I bet the men there
but you would how they describe the car to always assume a woman doesn't know
anything about a car yes and that's what it is the assumption that a woman does
not understand the thing you are talking about yes very good okay I think we'll
just do one more and then we'll have to go because we are now doing Oh
time and it's cold out here I can't believe that this is still working there
we go so this one is ransomware ransomware and
of course we have been talking about computers today and there is a very
relevant one very relevant word ransomware refers to a virus that goes
into your computer and it locks your computer and what happens is someone
will demand money from you to make the computer work again so they hold they
hold your computer to ransom they take over your computer and then you have to
give them money and then they will let your computer work again perhaps that's
why your computer's not working perhaps someone will send you an email and
demand money to make it work again
sabotage just maybe puter maybe maybe I'm being held to ransom oh yes
maybe mind you no one wants your old computer Bella says malicious software
yes malicious software malicious or harmful or something that is done with
nasty and negative intent there it is and one more this one's for mr. Steve
this one I think this one is very suitable for Steve self-diagnosis that's
miss there's a new word it's a new yes of course it is yes self hobby is self
diagnosis has now become a common word in fact it's become so common it has now
earned its place in the oxford dictionary self diagnosis is when is
when a person tries to work out what is wrong with them themselves and by that
they mean normally going on to the internet again the internet so they go
onto the internet and they go to these websites that talk all about illnesses
and then they put their symptoms into the computer and then the
computer start saying you have five minutes to live
and then the person starts panicking actually doctors I know this for a fact
a lot of doctors now are sick and tired of patients going in and telling them
what they think is wrong with them yes because they've already gone online and
put their symptoms in and they think they've got this particular problem yeah
so what happens it can tired of it what what happens is the patient goes to the
doctor and then the patient tells the doctor what is wrong with them exactly
and then the patient will say yes doctor RI we'll need some aspirin and some
painkiller antibiotics and then the doctor goes wait a minute I'm the doctor
not you well I I went on the Internet you see and I I did I did some self
diagnosis so I diagnosed my own illness and this is something a lot of people do
nowadays the Internet is very good for looking at facts about subject but when
it comes to a a very complicated broad-based subject like medicine it's
very difficult unless you've got the the background knowledge to work out what's
wrong with you yes self diagnose very dangerous thing
to go on the Internet yes so try and diagnose your problem well of course it
causes a lot of stress and anxiety because you might think you have
something wrong with you something very serious but in fact you don't so maybe
you think that the headache you have is brain cancer or maybe you are about to
have a brain hemorrhage or something I think you did that once didn't you a
common thing that people do is that they the symptoms of indigestion can often be
confused with the symptoms of having a heart attack yes and a lot of people get
that wrong and then rushing to the hospital having a heart attack
apparently one of the most common things that people go to hospital for they
arrive at the hospital and they have chest pains but quite often if you have
pain in your chest sometimes not always it can be just indigestion although
having said that it is always a good idea if you have pains if you have pains
your chest you should always call the doctor or go to a hospital if you have
pains in your chest right okay that's it I think we will leave it there because
we are way over time what time is it now let's have a look I D it is now 20 past
4 it's still light and of course it's still light so we thought we would come
outside to spend a little time with you so I hope you've enjoyed today's
livestream we are going now it is absolutely freezing it's so cold make a
nice hot cup of cocoa yeah I think we made a lot of people feel very hungry
that's good cooking that curry yes yes we had a lovely curry the other night
and I hope you enjoyed watching and I hope you enjoyed sampling your own
recipe yes so maybe later today you will go into the kitchen and make your own
curry so I hope you enjoy it I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed ah it's
time to go mr. Steve parting parting is such sweet sorrow we will be here next
week next Sunday and also during the week we will do a short livestream on
Wednesday and we will tell you what is happening with the computer I'm amazed
that the computer has worked today we only got one camera plugged in what
we're only using one camera so we can't do very much
well mr. Duncan was playing the video of us doing the curry this same camera that
you saw was inside he walked out with it pitched it here on the graph I was it
all in I was working like a madman I was working like a like a madman trying to
